I'm not "lamenting" my purchase of the Steam Machine

I mean, all I did was buy sticker paper and print this out, but I'm digging it. You might say, it's off the chain.

I'm kinda afraid to turn it on now though...

Here are the SVGs in case you want them.

Edit: Ugh. It's inverted. I'll correct and post the photo in a comment below.

Cancel feeding option removed?

Yesterday I had the option to cancel a future feeding just for the day (it looked like a little switch), but today I no longer have that option nor can I view upcoming feedings without going into the full schedule. Did they remove it from the app? (Android)

Vibe coders: Stop. Get involved with the community. Do market research.

I'm not saying vibe coding is inherently bad. But if you want to make money, you need to solve a problem that is being experienced by a significant number of people in a given cluster. Then, price your solution less than the cost of the problem.

  1. Participate and invest in the community.

  2. Do market research.

Every vibe coder on the planet, who otherwise has never programmed anything by hand is vomiting out the same apps as 100 other vibe coders without being involved in any way with the community they are trying to sell to.

For instance, we're still seeing a flood of captioning apps. Every week. There is no longer a market gap for captioning apps. And no, yours is not better. It uses the same open source AI models as everything else. Plus, FCP now does this natively, and we have about 75 others to choose from if (for some reason) this doesn't fit our needs. And many of those are priced higher than Apple Motion standalone or the monthly cost of the Creator Studio Suite.

So. Yeah. Rant over. Mods, you're awesome and I shall put up no fight should you choose to delete this post.

Ship to home?

I'm trying to shop the B2G1 sale (I'm a pro member), but the Ship to Home filter doesn't work and is not available for any used purchase. When I don't use the filter, there are around 16k matches. When I select the filter it drops to 9k. However, I am unable to purchase any of them. I tried in browser and in app. No dice. Is there some magic trick, or does GameStop prefer not to... sell games?

PSA: FCP 12.3 is out! Backup before upgrading.

Don't forget to backup your existing copy of Final Cut Pro before upgrading, just in case. I won't list the new features here, but just about everyone dropped a video on YouTube this morning so check it out.

Hint: this one will be popular for content creators.

Was the $1 for 40% off a scam?

RESOLVED

Update: They got back to me overnight and resolved the issue.

ORIGINAL ISSUE:

I purchased this discount code, but it is not working when I tried to purchase the Granary 2. I got an email that says my code is expiring tomorrow.

Tech support never answers, and does not return my call if I leave a message. They also don't respond to emails.

Was this just a scam to steal money from customers?

Edit: To be clear, I purchased the code directly from PetLibro.

Edit 2: Confused about all the downvotes, but... ok.

QC Ultra Gen 2 not working with 2.5/3.5 cable

I just received my QC Ultra Gen 2 headphones today. The battery is charged, app is setup, and I can hear sound via Bluetooth. However, when I plug the 2.5mm to 3.5mm cable into another audio source, I hear nothing.

- Headphones are powered on.

- Battery is charged.

- Cable is in all the way.

- Not connected to any other source via Bluetooth.

- 3.5mm audio source works with other headphones.

- Bose supplied 2.5mm to 3.5mm cable works with other headphones.

I assume I'm doing something horribly wrong. Can anyone please help? Thank you!

Edit: I found the issue. The issue is that I'm a moron. I guess Bose has different volume profiles for each connected thingy, and the default for wired is 0. So... I turned up the volume after connecting the 2.5mm/3.5mm cable. Ugh.

Thank you, haters. Because of you, I found this gem.

All publicity is good publicity.

Maybe those of us who are fans of the game should appreciate how much attention the anti-everything mob is bringing to the game. I'd love to know how much the rage increased sales.

I'm not that in tune with current games coming out, but I never would have heard about this amazing game/experience had it not been for the haters. But this GenXer bought it, played it, and loved it. It was like an interactive Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Though, the one point that may get lost in the haters' hyperbolic rhetoric is: Come awards season, should interactive fiction/walking sims have its own category? Personally, I love the genre and think it would bring more attention to it.
